Anyone sees a long term problem with that trend?

They didn't copy the craftsmanship, just the design. 
Production craftsmanship is based using the exact right materials that meet all of the requirements of the engineering design; following the exact manufacturing processes to produce a product that is guaranteed to meet all of the engineering specifications; and having verifiable monitoring to ensure that every unit built meets all of the design parameters. 
Those are great looking knockoff's and I am not saying that they are not built well, but there is no real craftsmanship.
